更多显示This paper examines the different elements that must be taken into account when fine-tuning the renewable energy policy in Russia by looking at the place of renewable energy on the broader national policy agenda and in the energy sector. Russian leaders have shown a strong political will to support the development of renewable energy by adopting a target of 4.5 percent of all electricity generation and consumption from renewable sources by 2020. This paper is intended to contribute to the ongoing debate on renewable energy policy in Russia. It provides information about policy developments for potential investors and other stakeholders. It considers the following questions: (i) why should Russia support investment in renewable energy?; (ii) should it do so urgently?; and (iii) how might these investments be facilitated? Conclusions and recommendations are preliminary; further analysis will be carried out based on the feedback from stakeholders. The paper starts by looking at the place of renewable energy on the broader national policy agenda and in the energy sector. It then describes the current status of renewables policy development. It concludes by examining different elements that must be taken into account when fine-tuning the renewable energy policy. The paper highlights relevant experience from other countries, mainly European Union members. The main focus of the paper is on the wholesale market. Investment opportunities in retail markets and distributed generation will be analyzed in more detail in the future.
